Circle city hall with trucks, boats & trailers and guys (and Gals) on foot rods a waving. Politley enter each and everysingle bussiness in town and inform them that the out of town fishing public will not be patonizing any local shops for so much as a cup of coffee until the town council gets it's collective head out of their butts. Just my $.02 jjcanoe

Got quite a few crappie the last 2 weekends out of Sharon Creek Reservior in Delaware (west of London) Super light hits! most were caught on wax worms or minnows. We also got a few Perch and Bluegills. jjcanoe

Was up there in early July 4 years ago and did great with lakers. Lots with a dead bait on the bottom, a few close to 10lbs Could not seem to boat a keeper walleye for the life of me although I know they are in there. One group at our camp brought back a 44" pike The 3rd biggest I've ever seen in my life. jjcanoe

I have always wanted to give muskie fishing a shot but with the price of lures!!!!!! I might just start to think about making my own to cut down on the prices. BTW they look great and will for sure slay them this year! jjcanoe

Lots of room to add a Livewell and some storage areas for lures etc. Get it out in some bass tournies and win a big shiny new boat! Boat looks great Keram jjcanoe

A nice river 'bow caught on a rebel minnow this fall. I haven't caught one on roe in a while. jjcanoe

A heater will burn its self out pretty quick outside in the winter. A better bet would be to get a powerhead with a quickfilter on it. Check out Aquarium Services or Super Pet. Just have to keep the water moving around the tank at a good clip and you should have no problems. An air pump would work when it's not so cold out but when those bubbles break the surface in cold weather like this they tend to freeze and ice things up. Ditch the exernal filter and get one that sits in the tank and moves water. jjcanoe

Thanks Canuck. Will they transmit coordinates on their own or do they need to be hooked up to a separate GPS unit? jjcanoe

Maybe he wanted to borrow the snowblower! jjcanoe

Been there done that. Eufaula AL, August Don't know what the temp was, AC in the truck was not working couldn't sleep more than about 15 mins straight that night, the next day at my pick-up they had a power outage over the weekend and the electric forklift didn't charge fully and died with a a half loaded semi- trailer. The solution, was to hand bomb about 22,000lbs of veneer onto my trailer. At least we were out of the sun. Hotter than hell! jjcanoe

Thanks for all the info guys, Next questions: Is the antenna permenantly mounted (for base units) or can it be easily removed? I have a 14.5ft boat and use it a lot on smaller inland lakes and don't need an 8ft hook grabber on board when casting. I know they can fold down but can they be left at home without major work? What is Digital selective calling (DSC) and how important is it to have? Thanks jjcanoe

Hey don't blame us, we import all of our cold weather from Alaska and then warm it up a little and resell it back to you guys! jjcanoe

I plan on taking my license test sometime in the spring before I get out on the water but I want to pick up a radio and become familiar with its functions and capabilities beforehand. Thanks for the vote of confidence for the hummingbird jjcanoe

Looking to get a VHF radio this year not in a great hurry to buy one but just wondering if a base or hand held would be best. I don't venture too far from shore a few miles at most so I don't think I need a base that's why I'm asking I don't know I'm looking at 3 models of hand held and 1 base all in my budget 1: Cobra MRHH325 2: Hummingbird VHF55SC 3: Uniden Atlantis 250 4: Cobra MFR45 (base) Anyone used any of these and if so what do you think? Thanks jjcanoe

Was out off of Gilford today and it the day went great but when the wind finally kicked in many things were seen flying across the ice that shouldn't have been! No hut, and kicked butt in 25fow. 30fow nothing and 20fow also nothing, we had the magic number today a pleasant change from how things usually work! jjcanoe

I've been going to this place north of Napanee for 30+ years and now take my family here. Lots of good bass, pike and panfish and a few walleye. http://www.pineridge.cc about the same distance from the GTA as Bancroft area and a really nice beach on a quiet lake jjcanoe

Just bought an ultra light rod and reel for a buddy of mine at Lebarons yesterday. He's going on a trip with me on the trout opener and he also fishes a few times a year for perch. $16.00 for the rod (shimano fx 5') and $18.45 for a Shakespere UL reel total cost $34.45 plus tax jjcanoe

Already laid out my clothes for gilford tomorrow, I think I'll add a scarf! jjcanoe

Talk to JWL from the Niagara board. He's got a camp up on Moira and probably knows how much Ice they have cause he's itchin' to head up there. jjcanoe

Sherriff, I was going to post basically the same question today. I just picked up a used 24V bow mount! Bucktail, that website helped out tremendously, but now I gotta go and buy some more stuff (how can that be a bad thing!) jjcanoe

First time I ever went ice fishing me and my buddy rode the bikes down to the river with our new tip ups we made from plans in OOD magazine We use an axe to chop our 1st ice hole. jjcanoe

Hey Woodsman, I know where your avatar photo was taken, thats one of my favorite spots! jjcanoe

Find an inexpensive plastic kids tobboggan $10-15 at Can. Tire get a rubbermaid container that will hold all your stuff $5-7 a few bungee straps to hold things down, a tarp and 2 2x4's bolted together at one end (both slightly shorter than the tobboggan) and a piece of rope When you get to your spot, tilt the 2x4's and the tobboggan to form a tripod and wrap the tarp around it, bungee and ropes in stratigic places and you've got a cost effective ice hut that will hold up in light winds. jjcanoe

There's probably 100 of them in Ontario, one of the most popular lake names around, (after 'Trout Lake' of course)! jjcanoe

Pick up a rechargable Gel cell battery from Princess Auto. Not too expensive either stick it in a small plastic tool box and bolt the bracket for the screen to the box. any extra space in the box can be used for tackle, license, wallet etc... jjcanoe
